Scientists Supercharge Natural Killer Cells To Attack Solid Tumors
By Nina Bai, Stanford Medicine - SciTechDaily - Stanford Medicine researchers and colleagues found a way to make natural killer cells better at attacking cancer. In mice, the enhanced cells entered solid tumors and slowed their growth. One of the biggest successes of...
Pluripotency, differentiation, and reprogramming: 20 years of induced pluripotent stem cells
By Springer Nature - Twenty years after the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), the study of pluripotency, differentiation, and cellular reprogramming remains one of the most dynamic areas of modern biology. Questions surrounding how cell identities...
Hydrogel platform uses vitamin B2 and blue light to simplify living tissue models
by Tampere University - Phys Org - Researchers at Tampere University have developed a versatile hydrogel platform that makes it easier to create customized biomaterials for tissue engineering, disease modeling, drug discovery and regenerative medicine. Their...
3D-printed spheroids enable dual bone and vascular tissue development
By RegMedNet - An interdisciplinary Penn State team has developed a bioprinting technique using microRNA-modified stem cell spheroids that simultaneously regenerate bone tissue and facilitate vascularization, offering new treatment options for severe bone trauma and...
CAR T cell therapy beyond cancer: current status, challenges and future prospects
By Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy = Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has revolutionized oncology, and its foundational logic—precise antigen recognition coupled with durable effector activity—extends naturally to chronic non-malignant...
Neural Stem Cells Branch Earlier Than Expected
By Neuroscience News - A new study challenges the classical “inside-out” model of cortical development. Using Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers (MADM) single-cell lineage tracing, the team demonstrated that radial glial progenitor cells split early in brain...
Why women need to be prioritized in longevity research
by Sadie Harley - Medical Xpress - Why do women, on average, live longer than men yet often face a greater burden of chronic disease later in life? Why do some of the most fertile animals in nature, including queen bees and naked mole-rat queens, also live...
Antibody-guided stem cell transplants could reduce need for toxic chemotherapy
by Alan Booth - Labmate - Researchers have described a preclinical strategy that uses targeted antibodies and epitope-edited stem cells to make blood stem cell transplantation safer and more precise for sickle cell disease, beta-thalassaemia, immune deficiencies and...
How Space Is Opening a Window Into the Brain
By ISS National Laboratory - What came back from the International Space Station (ISSInternational Space Station) in 2019 was, to the naked eye, almost nothing. A few specks, roughly the size of a pea, suspended in liquid inside a sealed container. Under a microscope,...
